“Sometime in the early winter months of 1968, we (the Guess Who) somehow got hired to play a University gig in Cleveland with the Yardbirds. I think we were technically signed to Fontana at the time, and maybe they had something to do with bringing us down for the gig. At any rate, the guitarist was Page by this time. Now, I know there was another guitarist, but I can't swear that it was Jeff Beck, although the Wiki lists for those years would indicate that it was... With that in mind, I’ve found a rare picture of only four yardbirds, four famous names... Paul Samwell-Smith, Chris Dreja, Jimmy Page, and Keith Relf.
The point of this lengthy ramble is simply this. Page had a Wah-Wah pedal that night, and Bachman and I had never seen one yet. And Page had already mastered it... This brand new guitar toy, and he had it down... For just that reason Randy and I never forgot that night. We opened for the Yardbirds with Page, long before Led Zeppelin was formed...”
— Burton Cummings of The Guess Who
